The empty Mulligan’s Brick Bar is now on the market. Listing agent Carmelo Parlato (Gurney Becker and Bourne) called to share the news that 229 Allen Street – the former home to one of the city’s most beloved drinking establishments – is now ready for a new owner.
^ A series of art installations have recently popped up at the corner of Allen and Mariner, commemorating the two iconic and irreplaceable Allentown bars. I see that artist Mickey Harmon is also colorfully represented.
I asked Carmelo about the fate of the Old Pink lot, and the City’s prime parking lot that divides the properties, and he told me that the decision was made to simply sell the Brick Bar parcel without waiting for news on the other two properties.
From the listing:
229 Allen Street is the vacant lot formally known as Mulligan’s Brick Bar preceding a fire that caused the building to be demolished. The lot is located in the heart of the Allentown Historic Preservation District just .08 miles from the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. The lot is 3,750 square feet, with 30 feet of frontage and 125 feet of depth. This is an environmentally clean and shovel ready site. This lot is adjacent to a City of Buffalo owned parking lot/vacant land (225 Allen Street) with 42 feet of frontage and 125 feet of depth, totaling 5,250 square feet. Adjacent to 225 Allen is another vacant lot formally known as The Old Pink/Pink Flamingo (223 Allen Street), also preceding a fire and owned separately by a private owner. 223 Allen has 40 feet of frontage and 100 feet of depth, totaling 4,000 square feet. It may be possible that all 3 parcels together make up an ideal development site, favorable to both the community and developer(s), totaling 13,000 square feet, just under .3 acres. The current tax assessment and property taxes listed do not reflect the new the “vacant lot” status and have not been changed from when there was a building on the property. Allen Street was recently transformed with a brand-new streetscape and updated infrastructure…
